"Sit up straight Emily. And stop fiddling with yourself it's not ladylike" chided Maureen
Eric had not been conscious that her hand was covering her now empty groin. She was very embarrassed to be female. She removed the offending hand. "I would rather be called Eric"
"I'm sorry but you don't look like Eric any more. I personally think you are never going to get a better chance to see how the other half lives, You should take a cue from Belinda who has decided to embrace her day as a woman"
Eric gave her father a glance. The young woman winced. It was clear that Maureen had something over Ted or Belinda or whatever she was now called.
"So what are your plans Mum and Dad (Eric wasn't ready to address her father as 'Belinda')"
Maureen replied. "Well we were going to head home tonight but considering the circumstances -well.... Could we stay here again tonight?"
"Of course. Keep my room. I'll use the single bed in the study"
That got a smile out of Ted/Belinda. "Thanks Eric"
"No Belinda. If you want to share that bed with me you will refer to our sister as Emily"
"Ease up Maureen. I let you put makeup on me and I have agreed to behave like a lady, however remember I am a man in a very strange body. Give us both some slack"
Amy decided to to try and change the subject "What do you think of the noodles. I think Emily has done a great job" Eric winced at been called Emily however it wasn't worth another quarrel.
"I think it's delicious" said Maureen. "However make sure you don't spill anything on your tops. We have nothing else that will fit you"
Eric got an ironic look out of her father. It was interesting that even with a totally new face Ted/Belinda could express her thoughts without saying anything.
The conversation inevitably got around to the game which was still sitting on the far end of the table. In the confusion over Ted knocking herself out, nobody had bothered to pack the game away. Maureen raised the point; "In an average game other than the winner each person is only going to get to suggest 3 or 4 changes and get 2 or 3. If we ever play again we should be more careful with our wishes"
"It's really disappointing when you get one of your own features and nothing changes" added Amy.
"I was so hoping for the slimming wish but it just didn't happen. And we never got around to nominating anyone's legs in our game. Now Belinda is stuck with a gorgeous body on top of Ted's knobbly legs. At least they are shaved"
"I have one query about the game" said Ted/Belinda. "Maureen ended up with pink panties but I somehow got black satin panties. How is that?"
"I changed out of Nikki's pink panties when you were in the bathroom after you first got breasts. That was after Mum had her change. I put a pair of my own black briefs on. However when I got feminised they turned into black satin panties. That's what you got" explained Eric/Emily
"So what I got wasn't what you were wearing when you first made the wish but what you were wearing when I had my change?"
"Yeah, so it seems. I suppose that explains why we both got Mum's 21 year old face rather than the 54 year old version"
"So we were lucky Maureen got the wish to be younger as the first change otherwise we would be sporting her wrinkles"
"Belinda! Your'e on thin ground" warned Maureen but she had a grin on her face
"I wonder if there is some sort of pattern to the order of the changes?" mused Amy "If the changes are just random why does it ask us to toss a second time?"
"I think it's all about whether you toss a double or not. If you toss a double on the second toss I think you end up with 2 changes" said Eric
"But does it make a difference whether you toss a 1 or a 6 on that second toss?"
"I don't know. I guess we haven't got a big enough sample size yet"
"Well should we?" asked Maureen. "Should we play again and increase the sample size? I mean clean up these dishes first but I'd be keen to play again. I don't like being the chubby triplet"
"I'm for another game" chimed in Amy "However we should wait for Jen and Nikky to arrive. Nikky was going to pick up Jen on her way over"
"What?/What?" said Eric/Emily and Ted/Belinda at the same time.
"Well I rang them after speaking to you earlier as once I knew you were playing again I was certain the girls were up for another game as well. They would have been here earlier but Jen was working till 1 and Nikki was at some business luncheon with Angus"
"That's settled then" said a pleased Maureen. "We'll start another game as soon as the girls get here. Belinda you can help me with the dishes. Maybe you should get Amy to help you with your make-up Emily"
